Who would you want Jason to team up with?

I don’t really want Jason to be part of a team, especially for the time being. I’m tired of dc just shoving him with a group of people because editorial doesn’t know what to do with him (which itself is a product of their cowardice preventing them from letting him be what he wanted to be ever since he came back). There has yet to be a good Jason Todd solo run where the story doesn’t constantly shift its focus, and gets Jason’s motivations, thoughts, and competencies right while seamlessly incorporating this into an interesting plot (that again fits where his character is right now but manages to move him forward). He’s been around for FORTY years!! This is what fans are long overdue for, and it’s what I ultimately want.

He can maybe have a small supporting cast of friends or family, but I think the story can do without them too. Look at utrh; even his universally accepted best story isn’t technically centered on his perspective, it’s all from Bruce’s. Let him think and talk and act and reflect in his own space on his own. I don’t trust many writers to be able to include characters like Dick or Tim or even anyone else and not instinctively dumb Jason down to prop them up, even in Jason’s own story lol. This can actually also happen just to easily resolve plot issues, and that’s another issue I had with RHATO rebirth. The fact that he got tricked by Roman fucking Sionis of all people, the person he NOTORIOUSLY fucked over in his most iconic story. But now we’re supposed to believe Jason is actually clumsy, a bit stupid, and impulsive of all things because Lobdell does what he wants. Jason is a master of improvisation, he is not impulsive.

In the long term/in general, if he were to work with other characters I’d want to keep it at a collaboration at most rather than stick him in a team. He has potential to stand on his own and be a great character in his own right, away from the batfam, away from team ups. That being said, if I were to have people interact with him, I’d personally want to see him be featured in more occult/supernatural stuff, so probably Constantine, Zatanna, and Boston Brand. Especially Boston because they’ve met before and it’s one of my favourite robin Jason stories, small as it was. They had an interesting dynamic! As soon as Jason sees a spooky demon-looking dude in red he smiles and greets him all friendly. Also spirits and shit gravitating to Jason because his soul/aura is alluring to them. Could be interesting.

More of future Jason in the White Knight universe would also be nice. I like the idea of Jason getting his own Robin not in the “I’m more like Bruce than I thought” way, but I want to see him be good to Gan and not fuck kids up the way Bruce did to him. Not every hero who has a child sidekick sucks ass and is a manipulative control freak who abuses them, but Bruce is special like that in that he’s the best (worst). It’d be satisfying to see a robin under Jason graduate from their robin days to independence smoothly, and for them to actually have a good relationship with Jason even after. It’d go to show how good Jason is at not only being a mentor, but also his competency as a vigilante and his priorities with keeping kids alive/protecting them.

@dogtccth continued from cruel bored curiosity. (app won’t let me paste a link or an icon damn)

All of them. Zsasz audibly swallowed, but he smirked, too. He could play games back.

“Lots of ‘em. Big undertaking to see them all…” But he opens his shirt further, knowing full well there was no space on his person devoid of scars. But his chest was the easiest to reveal.

Zsasz studied Roman for a moment, wondering if he was taking the piss. He figured Sionis had heard the story of his first tally through the grapevine, years before they’d ever crossed paths. Back before he was in Sionis’ employ.

Zsasz lifted his right arm and held it up between them, sliding his opposite finger along a narrow, inch-long tally buried beside four other, deeper scars along his inner forearm.

“First one. Night I found out my purpose. Was gonna jump off Gotham bridge. Vagrant…ratty asshole asked for cash. Didn’t have any. Gambled away the…reserves from my architecture firm. Figured I was better off dead. But this guy…saw my suit. Dressed like a fucking clown back then…” Victor hummed with a soft smirk. He shivered lightly, pleasure surging down his spine from the euphoric recollection. “Guy pulled a knife on me. Didn’t know what I was doing, but the guy was weak as fuck from living off trash…” Zsasz inhaled and looked up at Roman. “Turned his knife on him, saw the relief on him when he stopped moving. …Felt like a god, had to check I could still bleed…” He licked his lips. “Now…just hurts if I don’t do it… Like I got kicked in the balls.” He didn’t have them, but Roman would know what he meant, then.

comic book roman sionis and gotham victor zsasz would be such a fun duo

Gotham Zsasz is actually one of my favorites DC characters (next to Gotham Penguin 🖤). Basically I would place him next to almost everyone and he would shine bright like a diamond 💎. Btw Gotham Zsasz and Penguin? Love their dynamics, they are so fun🖤

I actually don't know comic Roman that well, I mean I've read just a few comics with his appearance and it was fun, but I remember him more from arkham knight games. (Maybe you've got some tips what should I read? I neglected reading comics for a while........). Roman from bop stole my heart and felt me speechless, I'm a slave for the arrogant, narcissist, sexist jerk.

In my headcanon Roman from bop lives in Gotham from tv series, he would fit there so well. Another drama queen in Gotham, him and Oswald having to deal with each other, both fashion icons, yaas

I mean look at themmm

#victor zsasz #gotham #roman sionis #birds of prey #black mask #penguin #gotham penguin #crossover of my dreams

The news is out.... Joker *was* in (what's the "official name"??) Patt-Bat's movie. 😒 I like the character but there are tons of other villains just as good as Joker, so I don't understand why it's hard for DC to not include Joker in any Batman movies.

I wish it was Ewan McGregor as Roman Sionis/Black Mask instead, because he and that character are in need of a good comeback since the character was done dirty in Birds of Prey. If he reprised his role in this Batman trilogy, then, considering how mentally fucked up and terrifying Roman is, he would undoubtedly nail the performance in the Matt Reeves-verse. Black Mask is the second most feared villain in Gotham with Joker being first. This is a little off topic, but considering how much praise The Batman got and how incredible the film was (acting, lighting, colors, visual effects, script, etc.), since it was Joker after all, the film would’ve been a good opportunity for Joaquin Phoenix to reprise his role. He would have been a great comeback for the character since a certain someone failed not once but twice at portraying that iconic character. Can you imagine??

ꕥ — WELCOME TO EXO COSMIA, ROMAN SIONIS. 🌑

ꕥ — OOC INFORMATION;

name/alias: Thysto age: 28 pronouns: he/they ooc contact: thyripsto (twt) other characters in xc: Vespa Crabro, White Mask Varre

ꕥ — IC INFORMATION;

name: Roman Sionis age: Late 30s-early 40s. pronouns: he/him series: DC Comics canon point: After his death (Primarily drawn from Catwoman 2005 run). app triggers: Hoo boy, I am trying to cover every possible base here. Abuse (familial and by romantic partner), murder, torture, arson, burning alive, gun and gang violence, death, lots of medical mentions (disease, near death, hospitals, procedures, lasting damage/brain damage), drug/alc mention

personality:

There is nothing that can be described as ‘pleasant’ in Roman Sionis. Well, maybe one thing - he is witty and funny, but in a way that is dry and sarcastic, intended to barb at something or someone else. Beyond that, however…not really.

Demanding, harsh, and aggressive, Sionis is a man who was at the top of the world, fell, and then clawed his way up again. He expects everyone around him to know that he possesses a certain level of power and presence, and when they don’t, he will beat it into them. His temper is famously short - and he will take it out on everybody else around him. A minor inconvenience can turn into an outburst, and when he is mad he yells - even louder than he normally does.

The root cause of this is in his history, sure, but it is the same thing that prevents him from improving as a person. His self-confidence and ego, his inability to as for help or admit fault, the fear of weakness and perception that any and all things that cannot be done on his own are a weakness - all of it plays in his head. And while he is certainly not unsure of his actions or of his self, he is incapable and uncertain in the face of vulnerability, in opening up to others, in a relationship that isn’t more than the man giving the orders and the person taking it - or the person who needs to be killed.

He tends towards the self-destructive, but in ways beyond that of the physical. Oh no, he is very mindful of his own bodily limits, though he keeps those a secret - instead, he tears down anything good that might come to him, before it can reach in and attach to him. Before he really starts to feel and care. Before it can hurt.

That might be what it all comes down to - fear. And what does fear do? It makes him angry. That’s part of the trouble with him, the damage in his brain; it makes everything jump, skip right to the worst, and therapy for it? Forget it. That’s more weakness.

something your muse struggles with: Everything to do with interpersonal relationships, particularly when it comes to vulnerability. To show weakness is to make yourself a target, and to grow fond is to make your heart weak and frail. He’s lonely and he will self-sabotage and he has died alone once.

your muse’s greatest strength: He is stubborn. It’s a fault, but also a blessing - he will not give up on things when he sets to it, no matter the pain he goes through. He will ALWAYS find a way to win - even when it kills him.

history/background:

Roman Sionis should have been loved. Instead, he was just an icon.

His mother was disinterested in parenting – hell, she was disinterested in being married. Instead, she took to his father for the money, and he took to her because she was an easy arrangement: she gives him a son, an heir, and then she can do whatever it is she wants with the money. They never had any love. Richard Sionis didn’t BELIEVE in the idea of it - he saw the world in terms of people who wanted something and how much they wanted to take, and assumed that every interaction was the beginning of a transaction, even if it wasn’t stated. It’s a mindset Roman would inherit - but that comes later.

The young Sionis was the solitary heir to a long-standing business empire. The Sionis family was rich and prolific - their name old, notable. For ages, they had owned Sionis Steelworks, one of the largest industrial factories in Gotham, alongside several other notable businesses (the one of note here will be Janus cosmetics). Rich and given any material object he wanted, he was the image of a spoiled son - only one without any love, any example. His care was administered by nannies and maids paid well, but not well enough to deal consistently with a child that felt the world was owed to him. A child already predisposed to lashing out for attention.

He was also a child not told enough tips for his own wellbeing. Playing late into the evening (rather than return to a loveless inside, where his current guardian would depart and he would be left sitting with his father for hours), he came across a raccoon. Raised on television and comics, he thought it might, perhaps, be just as friendly as the mascot he had been seeing.

I don’t need to tell you a wild animal isn’t.

The cut on chest and hands were given a casual treatment, he was told how stupid he was, and he was sent off. It wasn’t until his fever reached 104 degrees a while later that they bothered to take him to the hospital, despite showing signs of malaise for days; it was just a shame he was trapped home sick from his fancy, gated-in rich kid school.

It was meningitis. It should have been fatal. Throw enough money at a problem, though, and they can cure your seven year old. It left Roman damaged; some things just don’t heal up right, especially when scarred that young. His emotional regulation would never be “just right,” and he was left with severe hearing loss.

Let’s skip ahead, past his college partying and all the fleeting, unimportant relationships and faces who only wanted to be near him for the money and the prestige. He was good at keeping them around. Yes, let’s skip right ahead to when he worked at Janus Cosmetics, learning through experience beneath his old man. Let’s skip ahead to Circe.

She was a model at Janus, a new one. She was pretty, she was sweet and spoke softly, and more than anything, she didn’t know who Roman was. Didn’t know he was the big boss’ son, didn’t know he was rich and powerful. It meant that she didn’t want anything from him, no money, no power. She just wanted to be by him for him, laugh with him because he was funny, love him because he was him. They were inseparable fast, and he proposed even faster.

His parents did not accept it. They threatened him, threatened her, threatened everything. Kick him out, strip everything away. Roman, weak, upset, complained of it - and Circe simply told him to kill them. Kill them, and they could have anything. Or else she would have to go.

So he did it. He lit the curtains on fire and locked them in the old sitting room, listened until they stopped screaming, and then called it in. Of course there was nothing left. He inherited everything - and a series of bad business decisions and blissful spending on Circe later, everything at her behest, everything to make her happy, keep her happy, keep her with him - and he was bankrupt.

Old Bruce Wayne bailed him out - something Roman will never forget and never forgive. Still, he had Circe. He had her right there with him. She would never leave him, she loved him so much. Only she didn’t. Only it was all a lie, and not long after she buried a knife in his shoulder and left him for dead. One hospital trip later and he got a diagnosis - a finite number on his lifespan, and one much smaller than others.

With nothing left, he went on one last bender, stumbled to the mausoleum in the pouring rain. Screamed at the burnt up corpse of his father through the doorway - then slipped on the steps and tumbled down. He smashed his head on the ebony wood coffin, and delirious, thought up a new form of reversal. A new form of rebirth. A new identity.

In a stupor he carved the first pass of a design from the coffin. A skull. A face of Death. Everything that followed and haunted him. When he emerged after the storm, he decided to become the Black Mask. And so his criminal career began.

Just with one catch - he made sure to hunt Circe down and enact his revenge on her. Burn her beautiful face until there was nothing left, torture her till she begged. She responded in kind, lighting him on fire - sealing the mask on his face forever.

Maybe it’s mundane. Maybe it’s magic. Either way, the mask is here to stay. Roman Sionis is an echo. Black Mask is the real man, now.

powers/abilities:

Roman is a mundane guy. Not a power to his name.

inherent abilities:

Combat Know-How - Enough boxing, scrapping, and gunplay to get himself by. He isn’t a professional MMA fighter or anything, but he can make a hell of a dent in something. Beyond that, he has a very, very VERY deep love for everything with a nice, sharp blade. And he’s really good with them (No, I don’t know how or when he learned how to use a sword well, but he DOES).

items/weapons:

Twin Handguns - A pair of twin, semi-automatic pistols. There isn’t anything special about them. Function over fashion, this time.

Favorite Knife Collection - Kept in a nice, rolled leather case where everything has its place. These are actually special - sharp, custom-made, finished matte. For a variety of very specific, potentially on-the-go uses.

starting ability: None.

starting item: Favorite Knife Collection

extra:

Given the fact that comics are very varied and fluctuate, my portrayal of Roman takes and combines aspects of canon sources from all over with headcanon I’ve built over the past 5 years. Please ask me about it.

My Roman is deaf and immunocompromised. He needs medical treatment actively and will be using the hospitals/care facilities actively.

Oh also, he is afraid of most animals (mammals and mammal adjacent specifically) especially raccoons and dogs.

He doesn’t remember he died yet. Waiting for something to trigger that one :)

Selina Kyle is an accomplished jewel thief. Sionis wears a black mask resembling a human skull that gives him limited mind control abilities over the weak-minded. Roman Sionis is a corrupt businessman and crime lord who has a fixation with masks. Bane's raw power, coupled with his genius level intellect, makes him a considerable threat to Batman, having once succeeded in breaking Batman's back. The international masked criminal known as Bane has immense strength that comes from a super-steroid called Venom. Listed below are the Batman family's most enduring and iconic adversaries. In those cases, the name of the character most associated with said supervillain identity will have their name in bold in their biography. Sometimes more than one fictional character will share a supervillain persona. Each character's first appearance and brief biographies of each fictional character are also listed, pertaining to their fictional histories and characteristics in the DC Universe. The following fictional characters are listed in alphabetical order by the name of their supervillain persona. 5 Antiheroes and reformed, semi-reformed, or occasionally reformed supervillains.4 Corrupt cops and government officials.The Batman family's rogues gallery has been well received, and is often considered to be one of the greatest superhero rogues galleries of all comic books. Many characters from Batman's rogues gallery who are criminally insane become patients at Arkham Asylum after they are apprehended. As with most superheroes, a cast of recurring enemies to the Batman family have been introduced throughout the years, collectively referred to as Batman's " rogues gallery". Since Batman first appeared in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939), his supporting cast has expanded to include other superheroes, and has become what is now called the " Batman family". These characters are depicted as adversaries of the superhero Batman and his allies. The Batman family enemies are a collection of supervillains appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. From left to right: Two-Face, Man-Bat, Catwoman, Scarecrow, Joker, Ra's al Ghul, Riddler and Poison Ivy. A gathering of Batman's primary enemies on a variant cover of The Joker: 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular #1 (April 2020).
